@gt12 Forgot about Frizell - easy to do, of course.
I hope Akira gets his shit together and doesn't become Lauaki mkII.
Ummmm Lauaki actually played quite a few tests, Ioane may never do so, therefore I think he's well behind the 8 ball ( and jersey ) there......

Who are the guys you can easily see driving that at the Blues?
Great point. I thought Pat T started to do that in the early games for the Blues but then faded away. It's almost as if they have a team culture issue or something

@KiwiMurph Are all Blues ABs playing for the same club? Didn't SBW also play for Ponsonby last weekend? Great for all other clubs in the comp.

listening to Marshall on RS this morning, he said when he went along to one of the AB camps this year (that Akira was at) and he spent the whole time running with Read, didnt get involved in hardly any of the other stuff other players were doing, just running with Read (who was still rehabbing at the time)

If they are Auckland born and bred then I'd prefer they play for the clubs they played for as juniors.
Which I believe is happening?

love that these guys are playing club rugby. throwback weekend.
boring "in my day" anecdote time
back in the very early 2000s when Super rugby players played club rugby, we played a preseason trial, and our club had a bunch of Hurricanes playing. It was pretty cool as a very limited player sharing a field with them.

But did you have breakfast with them? Or was it brunch.

@sparky What you want or what you expect to see? Cos SBW is def in for Eden Park
Most guys have to excel to stay in the All Blacks.
SBW just has to get through games ( 3/4 of a game at that ) without injury or getting carded.
